DEATHSCORE: Writer Kurt Vonnegut dead at 84

Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center. I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over.

Great quote from a guy who would probably appreciate the humor, macabre and ridiculousness of the Mortfolio Dead Pool - Kurt Vonnegut passed away today after brain injuries sustained from a fall. He was 84.

The NY Times, as is their pattern, created a special online section to revel in the life of a New Yorker. Does a better job than I could reflecting on his career, so why rip it off? FOX News is less than complimentary on their obituary.

Mark M gets the solo dinger, unfortunately he broke his Mortfolio 2007 cherry with his last pick! Roll the big board:

(125-84) * 1.0 = 41,
solo hit bonus of 40,
grand total of 81.

Mark is in third place, that still leaves 2007 virgin status to Larry V and the perennial favorite "Buying the Farm".

PBS did an interview about a year ago and it is posted on YouTube:
